Emerson was born on August 27, 2008. He weighed a whopping one pound, one ounce, but amazingly, he was on a ventilator less than 24 hours. He spent five months and three days in the NICU at SSM Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center. After a ruptured bowel, jaundice, hernias and multiple other medical problems we brought him home in January of 2009. He is now a happy, healthy five year old who loves Legos and playing cops and robbers. He is in pre-k and doing great. He wears glasses and has seasonal asthma as a result of being born so early, but after all he went through, we’ll take it. He is truly a miracle and our greatest blessing.
